scope:

This standard provides requirements and recommendations for the concept development, design, construction, operation and abandonment of pipeline systems, with the emphasis on structural integrity. The following topics are covered:

- safety philosophy framework and target failure probabilities

- design basis including surveys, environmental data and soil sampling

- design criteria including the layout, LRFD criteria and functional criteria

- material selection and corrosion control, i.e. pre-manufacturing considerations

- line pipe specification for three types of pipes; CMn pipes, CRA pipes and lined/clad pipes

- component manufacturing specifications, additional to industry standards, and pipeline assemblies

- corrosion, insulation and weight coating specifications

- offshore construction/installation and pre-commissioning requirements

- operation and abandonment requirements

- material testing specifications

- welding specifications

- non-destructive testing (NDT) specifications.
